ADVICE TO USERS
IMPORTANT: When first installed the unit
will be empty. It is essential the unit should
contain water before the elements are
switched on. It is vital that the commissioning procedure is followed. Failure to carry
out this operation will result in damage to
the unit and will invalidate the guarantee.
The following points will help you understand
how the shower operates:
a. The electric heating elements operate at a
constant rate at your chosen power setting.
It is the rate of the water passing through
the heater can which determines the water
temperature. (The slower the flow, the hotter
the water becomes; the faster the flow, the
cooler the water.)
b. During winter the mains water supply will
be cooler than in the summer, so the flow
rate will vary between seasons at any one
temperature setting. At different times of the
year you may have to adjust the position of
the temperature control to maintain your
desired temperature setting.
c. The stabiliser valve minimises variations in
shower temperature during mains water
pressure changes. If changes in shower
temperature are experienced during normal
use, it will most likely be caused by the water
pressure falling near to or below the minimum
level. The drop in pressure may be due to
water being drawn off at other points in the
house while the shower is in use. If pressure
drops appreciably below the minimum, the
heating elements will automatically cut out.
If ever the water becomes too hot and you
cannot obtain cooler water, first check that
the sprayplate in the showerhead has not
become blocked.
DO NOT place items such as soap or shampoo
bottles on top of the unit. Liquid could seep
through the joint between the cover and backplate,
and possibly damage the sealing rubber.
Replacement parts can be ordered from Triton Customer
Service. See ‘spare parts’ for details and part numbers.

WARNING!
THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
The installation, supply cable and circuit
protection must conform with BS 7671 (IEE
wiring regulations) and be sufficient for the
amperage required.
The following notes are for guidance only:
1 The shower must only be connected to a
230-240V ac supply. If you are installing a
shower with a kilowatt rating above 9kW, it
is advisable to contact the local electricity
supply company.
1.1 The electrical rating of the shower is shown
on the rating label (Fig.3) within the unit.
2 Before making any sort of electrical
connection within the installation make sure
that no terminal is live. If in any doubt,
switch off the whole installation at the mains
supply and remove the correct fuse.
3 The shower must be connected to its own
independent electrical circuit. IT MUST NOT
be connected to a ring main, spur, socket
outlet, lighting circuit or cooker circuit.
3.1 The electrical supply must be adequate for
the loading of the unit and existing circuits.
4 Check your consumer unit (main fuse box)
has a main switch rating of 80A or above
and that it has a spare fuse way which will
take the fuse or Miniature Circuit Breaker
(MCB) necessary for the shower (Fig.4).
4.1 If your consumer unit has a rating below
80A or if there is no spare fuse way, then the
installation will not be straightforward and
may require a new consumer unit serving
the house or just the shower.
4.2 You will need to contact the local electricity
company. They will check the supply and
carry out what is necessary.
5 For close circuit protection DO NOT use a
rewireable fuse. Instead use a suitably rated
Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or cartridge
fuse (see Table A).
5.1 A 30mA residual current device (RCD) must
be installed in all UK electric and pumped
shower circuits. This may be part of the
consumer unit or a separate unit.

rooms other than bathrooms, all socket
outlets in those rooms must be protected by
a 30mA RCD.
8 The current carrying capacity of the cable
must be at least that of the shower circuit
protection (see Table B).
8.1 To obtain full advantage of the power
provided by the shower, use the shortest
cable route possible from the consumer unit
to the shower.
8.2 It is also necessary to satisfy the
disconnection time and thermal constraints
which means that for any given combination
of current demand, voltage drop and cable
size, there is a maximum permissible circuit
length.
9 The shower circuit should be separated from
other circuits by at least twice the diameter
of the cable or conduit.
9.1 The current rating will be reduced if the
cabling is bunched with others, surrounded
by thermal loft or wall insulation or placed in

heat from the heater can to the incoming
water.
Economy setting - single red line.
• Economy: uses only one of the elements
within the heater can.
NOTE: If the stated flow rate required for the unit
cannot be met due to low water pressure, it will
be necessary to operate the unit on this setting
during the warmer months because of flow rate
limitations entering the unit.
High Setting - double red lines.
• High: uses both of the elements within the

(power on
indicator)
OPERATING FUNCTIONS
Power on indicator (fig.7)
When the electricity supply to the shower is
switched on at the isolating switch, the neon in
the START/STOP button will illuminate.
TP – Temperature Protection
During normal operation if the temperature
exceeds the showering safety limit the power
to the elements will be removed completely,
although water will continue to flow. When the
temperature has cooled sufficiently, power to the
elements will be automatically restored to the
settings at the time of interruption.
Abnormal Safety cut-out
The unit is fitted with a non-resettable thermal
cut-out safety device. In the event of abnormal
operation which could cause unsafe temperatures within the unit, the device will disconnect
the heating elements. It will require a visit from a
qualified engineer to determine the nature of the
fault and replace the safety device, once the unit
has been repaired.
Low pressure indicator
If this indicator is red, this means the water pressure has fallen below the minimum required for
correct operation of the shower, resulting in the
low pressure cut-out operating. This switches off
power to the heating elements preventing any
undue temperature rises (water will continue to
flow). Power will automatically be restored when
adequate water pressure returns.
Two Stage Pressure Switch
This unit is fitted with a two stage pressure
switch. In normal operation, 1 Bar running
inlet pressure is required to enable the shower
to operate at full power (1.5 Bar running inlet
pressure required for 10.5kW unit). In the event
a low pressure condition (down to 0.7 Bar), the
shower will continue to operate at a reduced
power setting (1.2 Bar required for 10.5kW unit).
Below 0.7 bar pressure, all power to the elements
will be removed. Power to the elements will be
restored once the minimum appropriate inlet
pressure is re-established.
10
INSTALLATION - SITING OF THE SHOWER
SITING OF THE SHOWER
• Referto (fig.8) for the correct siting of
the shower. Position the unit where it will
NOT be in direct contact with water from
the showerhead. Position the shower unit
vertically.
• Allowenoughroombetweentheceilingand
the shower to access the cover top screws.
NOTE: Water regulations require the showerhead
be constrained by a fixed or sliding attachment
so that it can only discharge water at a point
not less than 25mm above the spill-over level
of the relevant bath, shower tray or other fixed
appliance’. The use of the gel hanger/hose
guide (if supplied) will in most cases meet this
requirement, but if the showerhead can be placed
within a bath, basin or shower tray, then a double
check valve, or similar, MUST be fitted in the
supply pipework to prevent back-flow.
Pressure relief safety device
• Apressurereliefdevice(PRD)isdesigned
into the shower unit which complies with
European standards. The PRD provides a level
of appliance protection should an excessive
build up of pressure occur within the shower.
DO NOT operate the shower with a damaged or
kinked shower hose, or a blocked showerhead.
This may cause the PRD to operate.
• Whencommissioning,theshowerhead
must be removed from the flexible hose.
Failure to follow this procedure may cause
the PRD to operate.
• Makesuretheshowerispositionedovera
bath or shower tray. If the PRD operates,
then water will eject from the bottom of
the unit. Should this happen, turn off the
electricity and water supplies to the shower
at the isolating switch and stopvalve.
Contact Customer Service for advice on
replacing the PRD.

engagement cannot be guaranteed).
NOTE: An additional stopvalve (complying with
Water Regulations) must be fitted in the mains
water supply to the shower as an independent
means of isolating the water supply should
maintenance or servicing be necessary.
IMPORTANT: Before completing the connection
of the water supply to the inlet of the shower,
flush out the pipework to remove all swarf
and system debris. This can be achieved by
connecting a hose to the pipework and turning
on the mains water supply long enough to clear
the debris to waste.
Procedure
• Turnoffwatersupplyeitheratthemains
stopvalve or the isolating stopvalve.
• Connectthemainswatersupplytotheinlet
of the shower via 15mm copper, stainless
steel or plastic pipe using a 15mm x 15mm
compression fitting.
• DO NOT use excessive force when making
these connections.
• Makesurethebackplateissquareonthewall
and tighten the two retaining screws which
hold it to the wall.
• Turnonthemainswatersupplyandcheck
for leaks in the pipework connection to the
shower.
NOTE: At this stage no water can flow through
the unit.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: Switch off the electricity supply at
the mains before proceeding.
• Fig.12 shows a schematic wiring diagram.
• Thecableentrypointsarelistedonpage 3.
• Thecablecanbesurfaceclipped,hiddenor
routed via 20mm conduit.
NOTE: Conduit entry can only be from rear.
Route the cable into the shower unit and connect
to the terminal block (fig.13) as follows:
Earth cable to terminal marked
Neutral cable to terminal marked N
Live cable to terminal marked L
IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the terminal block
screws and make sure that no cable insulation is
trapped under the screws. Loose connections can
result in cable overheating.
NOTE: The supply cable earth conductor must be
sleeved. The outer sheath of the supply cable must
be stripped back to the minimum.
• ThesupplycableMUST be secured either by
routing through conduit, in trunking, or by
embedding in the wall, in accordance with
IEE regulations.
• The use of connections within the unit or
other points in the shower circuit to supply
power to other equipment i.e. extractor fans,
pumps etc. will invalidate the guarantee.
• DO NOT switch on the electricity supply
until the cover has been fitted.

FITTING THE COVER
IMPORTANT: Before finally fitting the cover, the
following steps must be taken:
a. Check the plumbing connections are
watertight.
b. Check the terminal block screws are fully
tightened.
c. Make sure the pipe and cable entering
the unit do not prevent the cover locating
correctly to the backplate.
d. Check the power selector is in the COLD
position - and the temperature control is in
the MAXIMUM HOT position.
• Offer the cover to the unit.
• Plug the neon located on the backplate into
the bracket inside the cover (fig.18). The
neon clips into the housing on the back of
the START/STOP button.
• Make sure that the Low Pressure indicator
assembly is in place (fig.19).
• Carefully guide the cover onto the backplate
making sure the wires are not trapped.
NOTE: DO NOT remove the cable tie in this unit.
• Guide the cover into position so that the
knob spindle locates correctly (minor
adjustment may be necessary to align the
knob and spindle).
• Should any difficulty arise, re check the
points above.
• While applying slight pressure to the front
cover, secure in place using the three

IMPORTANT
Before normal operation of
the shower, it is essential
the following commissioning
procedure is completed correctly.
COMMISSIONING
• The first operation of the shower is intended
to flush out any remaining unit debris, and
to make sure the heater unit contains water
before the elements are switched on.
• This operation must be carried out with
the flexible hose screwed to the outlet but
WITHOUT the showerhead attached, and
the outlet from the flexible hose should be
directed to waste.
• IMPORTANT: BEFORE switching on the
electric and mains water supplies to
the shower - check that the power selector
is in the COLD position and the temperature
control is turned fully clockwise (fig.20).
NOTE: Failure to follow the instructions above, may
cause the PRD to operate if the Start/Stop button is in
the ‘START’ position when the isolator is switched on.
• Turn on the electric and mains water supplies
to the shower.
• Press the Start/Stop button (fig.20)
and wait until water starts to flow from the
flexible hose.
• Slowly turn the temperature control fully
anti-clockwise (fig.21). It will take about
thirty seconds for a smooth flow of water to
be obtained while air and any debris is being
flushed from the shower. When there is a
smooth flow of water, turn the temperature
control steadily from Fully Anti-Clockwise to
Fully Clockwise and back again several times
to release any trapped air within the unit.
• Once flushing out has been completed, stop
the water flow by pressing the Start/Stop
button.
• Fit the showerhead to the flexible hose and
place in the showerhead holder.
• The shower is now ready for normal operation.
